I encountered this with a 256MB nvidia 6600GT AGP card when the 'AGP
Aperture size' in the BIOS was set to a value lower than the amount of
memory on the video card. After upping the value in the BIOS, the
problem went away.

Still experience this. After a day or so of running, eventually windows
start opening black. They can be revived by shrinking smaller and
smaller, but eventually that method runs out as the window gets too
small to be usable. Have tried many solutions including indirect-
rendering, nothing works
I am getting this "black screen" problem with Epiphany using compiz (but
not metacity) on Intrepid.
Intrepid has linux-restricted-modules-generic version 2.6.28-11.15 is it
right that this bug remains associated directly with version 2.6.20? Is
it actually a bug in this module or one in compiz?
A computer with two 256mb of dedicated video memory still displays black
windows when a certain threshold of open windows is reached. The
threshold varies with the kind of window, i.e. evince with large PDF
articles lowers it).

Well, the problems with --indirect-rendering were no mipmap and no vsync
but since we don't enable vsync by default anymore and --indirect-
rendering works with the nvidia-glx-new we have now it might be worth it
to use it again.
